Lots of back-and-forth behind the scenes over whether to even do this statement and what to put in it. And it includes no numbers, though we're told the new spending number is between $500-600b More on somewhat chaotic day here with @marianne_levine https://t.co/UzD3o43TmJ — PolitiTweet.org

New statement from Sinema/Portman group says they have "reached a bipartisan agreement on a realistic, compromise framework to modernize our nation’s infrastructure and energy technologies. This investment would be fully paid for and not include tax increases." — PolitiTweet.org

As they left for the weekend, senators painted a confusing and chaotic picture of whether there's a deal among the bipartisan group of 10 senators. Would be about $500b in new spending, totally around $900b but still a lot unresolved https://t.co/UzD3o43TmJ @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins said that Biden’s flexibility is actually most important : “The bigger question is, can the White House accept a more reasonable bill that is focused just on infrastructure and broadband and acceptable pay-fors?” — PolitiTweet.org

“McConnell wants Biden to fail,” said Sen.Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). Not “10 Republicans who are even willing to talk to us about compromise. And if we get 10 Republicans you probably lose some Democrats if it’s too squishy, middle-of-the-road minimalist.” https://t.co/Xr84Fkbifi — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema is close to Capito so kept her talks with Portman quiet to not upstage Capito. And Capito isn’t stepping into this one after unsuccessful talks with Biden “I’m really not participating in the other group … I wish them luck” — PolitiTweet.org

In a statement for this story, Sinema acknowledged that forging an agreement, with her leadership, between Biden and at least 10 Republicans will be “difficult" but “would help show everyday Americans that we can work together.” Her group expected to meet today — PolitiTweet.org

Portman: “She’s been an honest broker, I’d say that. That’s the greatest compliment around here. She’s kept her word.” He acknowledged "differences of opinion," adding: “She would want to spend more … I would want to spend less. We have to find a way to get to the middle.” — PolitiTweet.org

New: Kyrsten Sinema gets her make-or-break moment with Republicans on infrastructure. She’s been quietly keeping Biden in the loop on her talks with Portman. And now she’s got her chance to test the Senate’s appetite for bipartisanship https://t.co/Xr84Fkbifi — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, not supportive of R floated idea of indexing gas tax to inflation: “No. I don’t think we go there … They’d rather increase a 60,000 a year person’s gas tax than some $3 million a year person, raise their income tax” — PolitiTweet.org
